First of all, I must ask how I have missed not reading this author before?! This book was so entertaining and fun to read from the beginning when we first meet Natalie after she has left Jamie, literally at the altar to the end when fifteen years later, we get to see Jamie come back into her life and wonder if he really is her Mr. Right or if she should keep running. Perhaps her soul mate is her yoga boyfriend, Benjamin, who says “Namaste!” in every sentence and during sex or Hollywood heartthrob, Ryan Harrison, who Natalie has hired to perform in her theater’s production of Macbeth.

This book is full of interesting characters, some more likable than others, of course, but all with personalities that draw the reader in further to the story. Natalie’s Hungarian grandmother was a hoot, and I will never think of bunions again without thinking about Sophia Loren’s toe. Natalie’s best friend Sharon and her teenage-like crush on Ryan and the calendar she has still makes me giggle.

Benjamin and Tuppence were less than likable and gave me near migraines with the intense eye rolling their presence caused but I found myself curious as to what they would do next and what would happen as a result.

I really liked both Ryan and Jamie and thought they were down to earth characters who were decent people. I enjoyed meeting the rest of Natalie’s family and her theater mates as well.

My Final Verdict: This book delivers on every angle, comedy, drama, heartbreak filled with characters and situations any reader can relate to and enjoy. Give this one a look and you will be wondering, like me, what took you so long to find this author. I am looking forward to jumping into his other books.
